I'd take the win over Blake's 20! It might be Clippers ball and they foul break. I think Doc drew it up for Blake to get it

Paul's shitty play last night cost us the game but tonight he won us the game. I was impressed by Blake's D on Dirk and good job by DJ to it two Fts.

Give back to BG CP. Come on!!

All kidding aside, what a game by the Clippers, specially BG.

He stopped Dirk dead cold. Made him his B1tch.

Awww come on why not Blake? Oh well I'm bummed that he won't get his 20 points but this shows what's really important to him. He's probably not even aware.

Should have given it back to Griffin so he could get 20, but they fouled him too quickly

Overheard ralph say he had a strained left hammy, questionable to return. Hopefully it's just something he can ice and it'll be all good.

Anyone notice how the only team to break Lawler's law are the Clippers? Ain't the 1st time we did this either... We did it once or twice before.

I'm wondering if it happen in practice because Doc didn't

put him in the game until late, he looked terrible,

then went to the lockerroom without being touched.

Not bad for a player who is soft, lacks BBIQ and any fundamental skills as one poster has stated.

I am just glad that the older (no offense) generation gets to see the Clippers as one of the premier teams in the NBA. Granted, we have not won anything but at least we are no longer the joke of the NBA, heck in sports overall.

Much needed Doc needs to tune the rotation the bench is struggling.

What a game by the starters tonight, especially Chris Paul and Blake Griffin. CP what a bounce back performance. He played like the bulldog he is, was aggressive as the team needed him to be, hit shots, and made numerous key steals. Blake was shutdown for much of the game, but exerted his influence in MVP-like fashion in the 4th on both ends of the court. Plays were being called for him towards the end of the game, and he delivered. His friend DJ had a nice game as well, notably hitting 2 key FT's & grabbing key rebounds down the stretch. Barnes was good. He ran guys off the 3 point line, rebounded, cut tot he hoop, & hit some J's. DC made some solid contributions himself.

Bench was iffy. Jamal was a bit off, though made some key plays in crunch time to help his team. Danny has a strained hamstring, and hopefully it's not too serious. Dudley looked alright out there, so there shouldn't be much of a drop off if Granger can't go.

So certainly a huge bounce back victory that restores & bolsters the confidence of the team. Nice to have a couple days off for the guys to get ready for the next challenge in Houston.

This was exactly the type of game we needed. Playoff atmosphere, terrible calls, big deficit comeback, and the grit n' grind style of play.

This team is going places.

Great grind out win tonight. Its exactly the type of grit that wins road playoff games. This team has done a great job the past 12 months learning how to not let bad refs ,dirty play, or sluggish offense stop them from scratching and clawing out a win.

I think getting into sports, believe it or not, help you keep going. If not for bad knees I would be more active but it really hinders your participation in anything that requires running.

That is why I have season seats for 3 sports. I always want something to go to so I can drink, go nuts and get off my feet and scream with the best of them.

But you're right. The Clips had some pretty good teams and the playoffs aren't new to them (just far between) and those teams were okay for a year or two then DTS would dismantle them,but they never had a CP3 or a BG32. Those two are phenomenal. I never thought I would see them have seasons like the last two.

And no offense taken here. Getting old ain't for sissies.

People like ClippersDA, JQuick, and you who were penning this in as a loss and a drop to the 4th seed before we even began, that's who.

this was always going to be a tough game but i never chalked it down as a L, what i have been is critical of CPs irritatic performance of late and pretty much the reason why we loss the last game against NO

Honestly I have a feeling that CP3 didn't play well during the Pelicans game because he was preoccupied in New Orleans.

Cp3 was great the past few games excluding the Pelicans but that game was especially bad. He cost us the game. CP3 didn't even make one shot which in my opinion is inexcusable. Oh well at least its just a regular season game.

And apparently some people here want us to have 3rd seed instead of 2nd seed. Beating the Thunder without HCA will be tough but its doable.

great performance by CP3 , Griffin and DJ.

But the second unit has still problems, Rivers tried some different things but they didn't work especially at the rim.

DJ / Baby is the only working combo, but sure DJ need rest or if he is in foul trouble.

Its difficult...

What do you want, perfection? These are NBA players, all college stars, you are playing against. Occasionally their shots fall, the Clip's don't. Even MJ's Bulls never went 82-0. The Clippers have as good a "Big Three" as any in the League. The rest is up to Doc to win the chess game that a forty-eight minute game is. Tonight he won against Dallas. Occasionally he will lose. Such is NBA life.

I am just happy that I have a great Los Angeles team to pull for. And, this is just MY opinion, the most exciting player in the NBA. (LeBron might be better -- at this stage -- but BG is more exciting.) Bandwagoner, supporter or fan, call me what you want, I am having fun!!!

Beat the Heat!!!!

Only major flame I hadwith this game was the persistent need we had to look for someone else to score when down two outside of Paul and Blake. Crawford was noticeably off track and out of rhythm the entire game and Barnes shouldn't be relied on either in those situations to save us. Win or loss I want Blake and Paul taking the shots being aggressive and the other guys scoring on open cuts not long threes.

We picked up some bad early season last season habits forcing the three ball to save us. Dallas showed early that if we attack the interior good things will happen. Overall huge win on a back to back as expected a intense game. Houston usually does not get physical so I suspect it to be a game of runs and who can get the longest one first. Reallly we could have JJ running Harden around the court.

I think Redick and Granger can also do that for us eventually. If they can stay on the court lol.

I saw this game on my phone, and kept losing it back; so I don't have a complete picture since I'd lose chunks here and there. I was also at my son's practice so I would focus more on his game then the Clips game for larger chunks too.

I was worried why I saw so much Duds out there, and then I heard about Danny's hamstring. I saw Duds on Dirk and was like what the heck is going on? I liked the closing of the game, which came at the same time my son's practice game ended so it was nice to just let him stay a bit longer and play some one on one with his friends while I got watch the end of the 4th.
